D.J. McPhee's Waycaller is the best fantasy fiction I've read for years. The plot draws you in straight away. I won't spoil it by talking about it here but it's action-packed and heart warming. I enjoyed this series as much as the Harry Potter series, which was my last big fantasy love. Set in a world like Middle Earth, the characters are terrific. The hero, Jack, and his little sister, Harriett, are both believable and likable. Harriett is my favorite. I messaged D.J. McPhee to tell him I love the book and asked him what inspired him to write Harriett and he said "she's a little bit Hermione Granger and a little bit Anne from Green Gables". Jack is good looking and cool and a bit out of his depth. He struggles to accept who he really is and to deal with his strong feelings for Anarra, an elvish girl he meets along the way who wields a sword as well as any man. Keep a look out for Miss Butters, a halfling whose antics are laugh out loud. Waycaller is satisfying and absorbing and lots of fun. A wonderful book. I recommend it to anyone who loves character driven fantasy.
